Three patients in their 20s suffered from chickenpox while in an immunocompromised state: one in pregnancy, one during a long course of corticosteroid for severe nephrotic syndrome, and the third with repeated upper airway infection due to bronchiectasis. They developed acute retinal necrosis about three weeks after the onset of chickenpox. Since acute retinal necrosis threatens sight, this unusual complication of chickenpox in adults needs serious consideration.

三名20多岁的患者在免疫功能低下状态时患了水痘：一名处于孕期，一名因严重肾病综合征正在接受长期皮质类固醇治疗，第三名因支气管扩张反复出现上呼吸道感染。他们在水痘发病约三周后出现了急性视网膜坏死。由于急性视网膜坏死会威胁视力，水痘在成人中出现的这种不寻常并发症需要认真考虑。
